From the recording A Firm Foundation
Life is what we make it. When all is said and done, we get out of life what we put into it. It's all up to us.
Lyrics
A job worth doing
Is worth doing right.
And standing for something you believe in
Is always worth the fight.
It’s never a mistake to help
Someone else stand tall,
And if you can’t say nothing nice, then
Don’t say anything at all.
My granddad was a farmer who
Churned the soil and worked the land.
He told me life is what you make it.
It’s all at your command. He said...
“If you want to make your mark in life,
You’ve got to plant the seed.
It all depends on you
And the life you lead.”
The life you lead is your own
Special kind of brew.
What you put in, you get back out.
It’s all up to you.
Come harvest time, you’ll reap either
Crops or weeds.
It all depends on you
And the life you lead.
Who you are shows in
Everything you do.
And your outlook on the world is shaped by
All that you’ve been through.
But you have a choice to make.
You can conquer or concede.
It all depends on you
And the life you lead.
The life you lead is your own
Special kind of brew.
What you put in, you get back out.
It’s all up to you.
Come harvest time, you’ll reap either
Crops or weeds.
It all depends on you
And the life you lead.
When the final roll is called
And you look back on it all.
You’ll account for everything you did,
No matter big or small…
Will the book show that you reaped
Your harvest, and planted every seed,
And chose to live a life that
You were born to lead?
The life you lead is your own
Special kind of brew.
What you put in, you get back out.
It’s all up to you.
Come harvest time, you’ll reap either
Crops or weeds.
It all depends on you
And the life you lead.
It all depends on you
And the life you lead.
It all depends on you
And the life you lead.
